Friday sees a weather system move through. Combine that with weak offshore high pressure and a deep low moving inland over Canada for stronger westerlies. The day starts with gusty 18-23 from Stevenson to Arlington. Expect the eastern Gorge wind to build to gusty 26-29 from Avery to Boardman late morning and hold through mid-afternoon. Afternoon wind in the west steadies out at gusty 16-19 from Stevenson to Doug’s. High temp: 55.
Saturday looks light from Hood River eastward. Easterlies pick up to 20-25 from Rooster to Viento. Sunday’s easterly forecast currently predicts 30-40 near Rooster and 25-30 near Stevenson.
